Anyone got any ideas for some decent quality multipitch in Yorkshire? Climbing around E1 and 6c at the moment

In reply to adamyounghusband:
North west girdle of course. Youre never too far away from the floor in case you need someone to lob you your butties or a joint.

In reply to adamyounghusband:

Not really the multipitch capital of the UK - if you want proper multipitch routes go to the Lakes or N Wales. I'm sure there are a few routes with two pitches e.g. at Malham or girdle traverses (e.g. the Armscliffe one), but is belaying really that fun? It doesn't make the crag any bigger!

In reply to adamyounghusband:

A climb- Ilkley!

In reply to adamyounghusband:

Carnage Left-Hand.

cabaret at gordale scar is a classic

In reply to adamyounghusband:
Moonwalk at Langcliffe Quarry. 3 pitches with1& 3 @ 6b+, 90 metres.

Don't know about quality.

In reply to Mick Ward:



That's what instantly sprang to my mind as well, could be bird banned though. Probably worth the OP checking first.

In reply to Maxey56:


Not really a true multi pitch and normally covered in bird shite.

In reply to adamyounghusband:

Ordinary Route on Mystery Buttress at Widdop can be split into as many as 5 (but normally 2) pitches. It's far from ordinary and a must for all students of the classic VDiffs

At the the same buttress The Three Cs route gives two stances in addition to the top belay and is a trademark Yorkshire VS. Bold as brass.

In reply to Mark Collins:

Not bird banned at the moment, the peregrines are nesting on the left hand side so they've shifted the ban this year. I did it at the weekend with no grief from twitchers

The Diedre (E2 5b) at Kilnsey.

Should be fine at the standard you are climbing.
May also be wet.

In reply to climbingpixie:


Didn't realise that, I thought climbers were ignoring the ban. I wish the peregrines would do this every year...

In reply to Christheclimber: Pretty sure this will be bird banned till June. Personally, I found it didn't live up to it's 3 star reputation. At all

In reply to adamyounghusband:

Whitestonecliffe is surely your best bet.

In reply to Rylstone_Cowboy:

Except the only two multi pitch routes are VDiff and E2 5c A1 (or HXS 6b free, awaiting a 2nd ascent I think!)

There are three girdle traverses at Peak Scar, HS and two VSs, I've done 1 1/2 of them and they're great if you like that sort of thing!

In reply to Simon Caldwell:

The Leash Vs 4c ?

In reply to 1poundSOCKS:

Ha! I suspect if we had been flouting it (which I obviously wouldn't) we'd have had the RSPB on our backs pretty sharpish. They've called the police out in the past when people have been climbing in the banned areas.

We did get a cracking view of one of the peregrines sitting on a tree not far from the Carnage cave while we were at the below below the top pitch

In reply to adamyounghusband:

Carnage left hand of coarse want to make it a little longer. Start up wombat then go left to belay on Scorpio ledge. Kirkby wall. the cavern all at Malham. Caberet. Light and to be honest if your leading good e1 have a whirl at face route bottom pitch e2 ish second pitch one move wonder with great gear. Diedre kilnsey a lot better than it looks. To be honest that's about it for quality at that grade

In reply to sammy5000:

Isn't face route hard E3?

In reply to Mike Conlon:


Forgot about that one!

In reply to Simon Caldwell: Having spent twenty or so minutes teetering on a shaley sloping excuse for a ledge, while trying to keep weight off some ancient rusting pegs, apparently pushed into some choss, I shall never forget it !

In reply to sammy5000:

You might as well go for the full right-wing Girdle at Malham. Not too hard if you use the peg for aid on East Wall Route.
The left wing Girdle of Gordale is also much better than it looks and a real multi-pitch 'experience' without being highly technical.

One hard move rest is steady e2 I would say. And on the hard bit gear is right next to you
